		<description><![CDATA[Why do we have to listen to the same people tell the same stories at every meeting?"  Norman leaned over and asked me that at a meeting last night.  He's right, of course.  We hear the same people share the same stories day after day after day.  Particularly in a small city like mine where the fixtures at the meeting don't really change.  It is actually one of the things I like best about blogging.  It gives me the opportunity to take a look at today and apply the lens of the solution offered in 12 step programs.  It helps me see the present more clearly.  It gives me new stories; new experience, new strength and new hope. ]]></description>
